A resident reported on the MPD 4D Listserv:
“…2nd night in a row a group of 8 to 10 teens mugged and robbed someone in the 6800 block of 4th street. Tonight they 1st harassed a biker, who managed to get away from them and then beat and robbed a neighbor who was walking home from the Rec. center. They took cell phones, a laptop, clothes, and wallet and ran toward the metro. It is very unsettling because neighbors were on their porches and motion sensor lights in my yard came on but this did not deter the muggers. Both nights it happened around 7:30. Police responded quickly.”
MPD responded:
“Lieutenant Ennis (PSA 401) has put together a plan of action to combat the crime in the Takoma Park Area. This plan is designed to prevent the rash of robberies in the area with the goal to arrest those individuals responsible. We have adjusted our deployment to ensure that officers are in this area, to prevent any criminal activity. Please if you see a large crowd gathering or if you suspect criminal activity please call 911. Remember if you see something say something.”

“On Tuesday, September 27, 2016, at approximately 10:46 am, a citizen called 9-1-1 to report a female standing outside the railing of the Roosevelt Bridge. The citizen approached the female and told her “Don’t jump! Don’t jump!” The female was then seen jumping off the bridge.
Officers assigned to the Second District responded to the bridge, observed the female in the water, and notified MPD Harbor Patrol.
Special Operations Division Harbor Patrol officers were patrolling in the waterway nearby and immediately responded, pulling the unresponsive female from the water and beginning to administer life-saving care.
The Harbor Patrol officers transported the female to the shoreline, where she was transported by DC Fire and EMS to an area hospital for treatment. Due to the immediate response of these officers, the woman’s life was saved.”
From Metro Transit Police:
“Metro Transit Police are investigating a reported kidnapping in the Petworth neighborhood of Northwest Washington, D.C.
The victim, an adult female, reported to police that she was waiting for a bus at the corner of New Hampshire Ave, NW, and Georgia Ave, NW, around 1 p.m. yesterday (Tuesday, September 27, 2016) when she was approached by two unknown men.
After initially engaging the victim in conversation, the males told the victim to come with them and threatened to harm her if she did not comply.
According to the victim, the men forced her to walk with them to a vehicle a short distance away. Once inside, the suspects asked the victim where she lived and then drove to her residence in Hyattsville, Md., where they stole valuables and cash. The suspects then left the apartment and fled the area.
The victim was not physically injured during the incident. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Last night while watching the debate at a friends house we heard 5-10 shots fired very closeby (the windows were open). When I was leaving his apartment I drove past the police and Webster street was marked off (where indicated on the attached image) but I don’t see any postings about it on the Police website or anywhere else and wanted to see if you heard other folks mention this anywhere?”
